  Charges for Services
Who is Eligible for Services
 The Senior Outreach Program is designed for individuals 60 years of age or older who are living at home or in senior housing facilities, including assisted living communities.

     Mental health problems are not part of the normal aging process, but many of the circumstances facing older adults can contribute to the development of depression and other mood disorders, anxiety disorders, or substance abuse.  If someone has experienced a recent loss, has noticed a change in ability to manage daily routines, has recently had a loss of independence, is sneaking drinks, has flashes of aggression, has unreasonable resentments, has had a change in sleep habits, feels anxious or depressed, feels like life is no longer worth living then the services may provide the needed help for a more fulfilling life.
